We have been suffering ever since Gary Kurtz was kicked out of the franchise; without him there can never be a good Star Wars movie.
If only we were allowed to own the original versions, and if the SE was just a short-lived anomaly, I wouldn’t be acting so unhinged.
Disney has chosen to turn a blind eye to this cultural atrocity by refusing to release the originals when they easily could.
I do not want to accept a reality where in 2037 there is still no OUT legally available, and the entire population accepts the SE as the version that has always existed.
These movies are too important to be given second-class status and be destroyed like the Bamiyan statues.
The destruction of ancient artefacts in the Middle East is limiting those nations’ ability to recall their history. It’s a war crime. Star Wars is culture with a very small c by comparison.
